Great post! My fave line => I need community that both humbles me and lifts me up.

This is so true! I would also add that I want a community that I can learn from. (this includes calling me out on my shit)

Great post! I totally agree. Interesting that I think Generation Y lives by the quasi-anonymous rule. We want to remain generally anonymous in our lives, but be able to walk out and find community at our doorstep whenever it is convenient for us.

I love when people call me out on my shit. As a matter of fact, I believe I have almost created this inner being inside me that now calls myself out for me.

As crazy as that might sound, I think when you hear those voices that tell you what you should do, even though you don’t want to, you must listen to them. Those voices are your brain testing your body. Not listening to them may seem nice during the moment, but you will certainly regret it later on.

I have found listening to those ‘community’ voices, whether your friends, family, or your own, pushes you to be a better person. Those voices become a challenge, and I love a challenge.
